Tracking is more than version numbers
Knowing that an update exists is only step one. You also need source, trust state, version direction, and whether the app can be backed up before replacement.
Why history matters
Update history helps answer what changed, when a backup was created, and whether a previous update failed or required a vendor handoff.
How macCurrent tracks updates
macCurrent attaches update source, safety state, backup readiness, and history to the apps you already have installed.
